Hello everyone, first post here. So if I'm in the wrong spot forgive me. Alright full on back story. I inherited a tractor from my grandfather. The body says Aggracat 254. The engine, model and sticker on roll cage says Jinma. I've done history research to find all the different brands for the same tractor. Anyways I have several issues but my main problem is it overheats. According to my dad it's always had a overheating problem. It's been sitting for several years un-started. When I got it the wiring had been chewed on. So first thing I fixed several of the wires and changed the key switch. Primed the system with fresh fluids and it fired right up but soon started to overheat. So I changed the thermostat and housing along with radiator cap and full flush inside and out of radiator and cleaning of air filter. The problem went away for a few months. Then I noticed the exhaust starting to wabble so I figured it was just rust, went to weld it back solid and noticed it had oil all over it. When I went to wiggle it for a better look, it literally fell off. Shortly after that it started overheating again along with spitting oil out of the exhaust. I have no idea what to do, everything is dry rotted and I'm trying to salvage it before it blows up. I'm not sure how to upload pictures of everything any help would greatly be appreciated. I have several questions but the oil raining from the exhaust is my main concern
